My baguette journey continues. The dough humbled me, the oven confused me, and the results were… educational 😂 Not every loaf is perfect, but every loaf is a lesson. There’s something satisfying about showing up and trying again, one bake at a time. And at the end of the day, there’s still bread for the beef stew tonight 🥖🤎 #sourdough #foodstr

Hello, gorgeous! 🥰 #foodstr

I honestly don’t understand why some people get upset over “Go make me a sandwich, woman!” 😂 I mean… I got to spend the afternoon baking baguettes, whipping up mayo, making soy-glazed pork, caramelizing onions, and putting together bánh mì-style sandwiches with liver pâté, đồ chua (Vietnamese pickled carrot and daikon), pickled jalapeños, and some brie on top. Good sandwiches make happy meals. I really don’t see the problem here 😂 #foodstr

I had some wrinkly, sad-looking tomatoes in the fridge, so I turned them into beef-tomato noodles 🍅🍜 Honestly, I’m obsessed with this dish right now. It’s hearty, savory, cozy, and flavorful for something born from near-death tomatoes 😂 #foodstr #zapcooking

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day! 🍕₿ What better way to celebrate than making pizza from scratch? Here’s my go-to pizza dough recipe — simple, delicious, and perfect for a crispy, chewy homemade pizza night. Sourdough or Not Pizza Dough Recipe Makes 2 pizzas 🍕🍕 Ingredients * 320g bread flour * 225g water (add 30–50g more if using yeast instead of sourdough starter) * 60g sourdough starter (or 0.5–1g dry yeast) * 6g salt * 6g extra virgin olive oil Instructions 1. Mix Combine everything until no dry flour remains. The dough will look rough and shaggy at first — don’t worry, time does the hard work. 2. Rest & Fold * Rest 30 mins * Stretch and fold * Repeat this 3 times total You’ll see the dough become smoother and stronger after each set. 3. Rise Divide into 2 dough balls and let them rise until doubled. You can: * Bake them the same day, or * Cold ferment overnight in the fridge for even better flavor. If refrigerated, let the dough come back to room temperature before baking. 4. Bake * Heat oven to 250°C * Stretch the dough however you like * First bake with just sauce for 7–9 mins * Add toppings and bake another 5–7 mins until bubbly and golden And that’s it — homemade pizza with a beautifully light crust, crispy edges, and loads of flavor. 🍕 @Zap Cooking #sourdough #foodstr

I ran out of Dijon mustard for making mayo… but whole grain mustard turned out just fine 😊 #foodstr

A simple feel-good meal: steak and Yorkshire puddings with some gravy 🤎 Yorkshire Puddings Makes 12 puddings in muffins tins Ingredients * 140g all-purpose flour * 200g milk * 2 eggs * 1/4 tsp salt * A pinch of black pepper * 12 tsp lard Instructions 1.
